Hi all,

IE is handling the following Javascript differently than FF. I'm outputting data that goes thru XSLT

(which trims the carriage returns from the data). The following works fine in FF, but doesn't work in IE 6 or 7.

Is there something I'm missing or doing incorrectly?

TIA,

- Mark

It worked both firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0. Pls try again.

Example :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
    var x = document.getElementById("column");
    var txt = x.innerHTML;
    var reg1 = new RegExp(/\n/g);
    x.innerHTML = txt.replace(reg1, 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="column">
  <p>Hello<strong>World</strong></p>
  <p>Codingvn</p>
</div>
<a href="#" onclick="load();">Click here</a>
</body>
</html>
